If you have just installed Red Hat Directory Server 9 on RHEL 6 with only the @Base package group, the java-1.6.0-openjdk package, and the redhat-ds package, and you are trying to open the Red Hat Identity Management Console through a forwarded SSH X session by running redhat-idm-console -a http://localhost:9830, you may encounter a Java stack trace.
The Java stack trace encountered will look similar to the following:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Probable fatal error:No fonts found.

To fix this, install yum package liberation-sans-fonts, or an equivalent font package, and reconnect to the Red Hat Identity Management Console through the forwarded SSH X session.
